FLOWERS, DOTS AND STRIPES

Description

Another A line dress, with bold combination of colors and prints. It looks a little vintage to me, with the slighty puffy sleeves, 2 box pleats under the front yoke, the constrasting hem band and the button back closure . I hope you like it!!!

I love this happy little dress. What size is it in this picture? I am going to download the pattern and make it for my granddaughter, she wears size 4, but I suppose the pattern has different sizes ? How did you decide what fabrics and colors and prints to choose? I want it to look a lot like your dress, it IS so pretty and so is your little model.

She wears size 4 too, but what i ussually do is to draft the pattern by using a T shirt that fits a little loose and then trace the shape on a piece of paper, there are a lot of tutorials on the web, i highly recomended craftinessisnotoptional.com (most of my sewing inspiration come from this site) After you have a pattern you like, you can make any sorts of modifications to get new models, in my case most of the dresses came out of A line shaped pattern. Now, for the fabrics, you just have to go to your local fabric store and start to wonder around, mixing and matching, there’s were the fun begins!!!
